Sony Online Entertainment said this week it would offer DC Universe Online players on PC and PlayStation 3 a month's worth of subscription credit and a wearable, in-game mask to make up for a prolonged PlayStation Network and SOE Station.com outage that has made the game unplayable.

Impacted players will receive an extra 30 days of subscription credit on top of credit for the total period PSN and Station.com are down, according to a posting on the game's Facebook page. Players will also receive an "appearance item" mask in the style of Batman (pictured).

"Please bear with us as the complexities of the subscription server dictate how and when this will be available along with pertinent details," SOE said. "We will be releasing more information this week. Thanks again for your patience!"
